Installing the new controller module
Procedure
1.
With the latches in the open position, slide the
module into the enclosure as far as it will go (1). To
facilitate insertion, press firmly on the top-center of
the module, ensuring that the module is seated and
flush with the chassis.
2.
Rotate the latches upward to engage the module with
the internal connector (2) and turn the thumbscrews
finger-tight (3).
NOTE:
The illustration is for reference only. In a single-
controller system, insert the controller module
into module A, top location.
3.
Reconnect the cables.
After installing a controller in an operational, dual-
controller system, the new controller automatically
begins initializing. If the firmware versions differ
between the two controllers, the Partner Firmware
Update feature, if enabled, will update controller
firmware so that both controllers are running the
same firmware version.
4.
In operational systems, if additional hardware
components, such as a second controller, need
replacing or installing, wait 30 minutes before
proceeding with those procedures. This time frame
ensures that one or more controllers and their
ownership of vdisks or disk-groups are fully
stabilized.
Verifying proper operation
Examine the module status as indicated in
LED
descriptions
.
If the replacement controller does not boot up as
expected or if the
Fault/Service Required
LED is
amber, the module is not online. Check the event log for
errors, and then restart the controller to put the module
online. To restart a controller, do the following:
Procedure
1.
Select the system in the Configuration View panel:
• For the P2000 SMU and the MSA 1040/2040
SMU v2 — select
Tools > Shut Down or Restart
Controller
.
• For the MSA 1050/2050 SMU and the MSA
1040/2040 SMU v3 — select
Restart System
from the System topic.
2.
Set the following options and then click
OK
:
• Operation—
Restart
• Controller Type—
Storage
• Controller—
A
or
B
Verifying configuration settings
After replacing a controller, verify that your system
configuration settings are set properly. Repeat the
commands shown in
Recording configuration settings
and compare the current values with those recorded
before the installation. If necessary, change the settings
to their previous values. For more information, see the
HPE MSA SMU Reference Guide
